SBC XQ for PA 13.0

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, 

Following what has already be done in some Android derivatives, here's a simple patch that extend SBP bitpool negociation to XQ quality.

According to :
--> http://soundexpert.org/articles/-/blogs/audio-quality-of-sbc-xq-bluetooth-audio-codec 
--> https://lineageos.org/engineering/Bluetooth-SBC-XQ/ , 
--> and confirmed by my own experimentation on more than 10 different devices, 

here are the features of the (very simple and non intrusive) patch : 
- allow to use bitpool 76 on devices that support it, aka SBC XQ
- harmless for devices limited to bitpool 53
- deprecates the need for APTX & APTX HD support, which are not better than SBC XQ, are not Open Source, and less supported by devices

This patch will be superseded by multi-profiles Pali Rohar A2DP stack implementation, when it's ready for production. Thanks to Pali for the help testing many codec parameters.

Let me know if I have to clone the git to push my patch, or if a regular PA dev could do it.

All the best
JP
